ATLANTIC, IA (April 7, 2025) – Produce in the Park’s “EGG-cellent Spring Celebration Market” is all about farm-fresh eggs. Spring Celebration Market will be held at the Nishna Valley Family YMCA (1100 Maple St. Atlantic, IA 50022) on Saturday, April 19 from noon to 3:00 PM. Market visitors will find farm-fresh egg vendors, a 4-H poultry exhibitor sharing information and offering a free egg art craft, and Cass Health Dietitian Sarah Andersen sharing information on the benefits and nutrients of eggs, as well as different ways to prepare this versatile food. Cass County Extension will be sharing information on raising chickens, and Sarah Selders will be offering Easter-themed face painting–which of course will feature Easter eggs.

Spring Celebration Market attendees will hear tunes from the Squeezy Pease Accordion Due, get to see a live Easter bunny, and enjoy a free bounce house and playland thanks to the YMCA. Pim’s Thai Food Truck and Lucky Wife Wine Slushies will be parked outside the YMCA during the market.

Vendors at the spring farmers market will offer lots of local vegetables including fresh greens, carrots, beets, sweet potatoes, and butternut squash, as well as beef, pork, lamb, chicken, honey, and farm-fresh eggs. The market will also offer a variety of baked goods and desserts including gourmet cupcakes, cookies, kringle, pies, rye bread, and other sweet breads. Craft vendors will be selling jewelry, home decorations, candles, wax melts, a variety of bath and body products, and more. Lastly, late April is a great time to buy plants, and vendors will be selling both potted plants and plant starts. As with all Produce in the Park farmers markets, there is no cost to enter the farmers market, and local organizations–including Cass County Tourism and Healthy Cass County–will be at the market sharing information on various community happenings and resources.
